Russia using drones to hunt Ukrainian civilians: HRW

Human Rights Watch (HRW) claims that Russian forces have been using drones to attack and hunt civilians in Ukraine.

In a report released on Tuesday, HRW claimed that in its more than three-year conflict with Ukraine, the Russian military has repeatedly used unmanned drones to attack civilian targets. According to the NGO, dozens of civilians have been killed and hundreds have been hurt as a result of a war-related lapse.

The rights organization claims that Russia “deliberately or recklessly” hunted civilians and civilian objects, particularly in the southern city of Kherson, using “commercially available quadcopter drones” made domestically and in China, in response to video from Russian drones, witnesses, and survivors.

Russian drone operators can track their targets with high-definition video feeds, which leaves little doubt that their goal is to kill, maim, and terrorize civilians, according to Belkis Wille, a HRW director on arms and conflict.

They “exemplify why the international community needs to support all means of accountability for Ukrainian victims of Russian war crimes and crimes against humanity.”

The findings support claims made by Kherson residents and government officials earlier this year that Russian drone operators were conducting “human safaris” as part of their training.

HRW sifted through 83 videos posted on Russian military-affiliated Telegram channels, as well as visual materials provided by witnesses and researchers, and interviewed 36 survivors and witnesses who have witnessed attacks.

Between June and December 2024, Russian forces recorded at least 45 “deliberate drone attacks” on people and civilian property, including healthcare facilities.

Around the same time, Kherson’s authorities reported 500 civilian injuries and at least 30 fatalities as drone attacks.

According to a UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission report from January 2025, drone attacks in Kherson caused 70% of civilian casualties.

The attacks are intended to “instill terror in the civilian population of Kherson, part of a widespread attack against that population,” according to the report.

NDDC To Begin Local Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme For Niger Delta Youths

The Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) is set to launch a local postgraduate scholarship program for young people in the Niger Delta to help them with their studies, according to Samuel Ogbuku, the NDDC’s managing director.

Ogbuku, who was observing the oral interview process for applicants for the Port Harcourt 2025 NDDC Foreign Postgraduate Scholarship program, claimed that 600 students will be admitted to the program each year.

He claimed that the commission’s decision to launch the local postgraduate scholarship was a result of its success in the field of foreign postgraduate scholarships.

The NDDC scholarship program, which first launched in 2010, aims to develop top-level professionals with the necessary skills to compete in the oil and gas industry and other sectors.

The scholarship program includes management sciences, including law and architecture, environmental science, environmental science, environmental science, and engineering.

The NDDC Managing Director mentioned the success of the foreign postgraduate scholarship program, saying that “we actually had multiple distinctions last year, this year too, from the report we are having, and we will also have multiple distinctions from our scholars in various UK and American universities,” and that we are encouraged to continue doing so.

The introduction of the local postgraduate scholarship is a result of the successes because we felt that we should also accommodate more students at local universities, which will be our next step as soon as we complete this foreign postgraduate scholarship.

He continued, “We are only doing 200 for the foreign scholarship, but we will be doing 600 for the local scholarship, which will accommodate more people.” By Monday, the publication for the local postgraduate scholarship program will be out and people will start applying, because this exercise (the oral interview session) is coming to an end on Friday.

Blessing Chinonso, a candidate who is visually impaired, was one of the candidates who praised the 2025 NDDC Postgraduate Scholarship program, calling it straightforward and transparent.

Abducted Monarch Rescued In Nasarawa Community

The traditional ruler of the Dari community in Nasarawa State, Emmanuel Omanji, was abducted on May 28, 2025, according to the police in the Kokona Local Government Area.

The traditional ruler was abducted on June 2, 2025, according to Ramhan Nansel, the state’s police spokesperson.

The traditional ruler was unharmed, according to the police, who said in a statement, on June 2, 2025, around 9 o’clock.

On Wednesday night, gunmen who occasionally shot in the neighborhood whisked Omani away from his residence.

The police claimed that the Command’s Search and Rescue Team exerted persistent pressure on the traditional ruler to be saved in the Panwasa Mountains, close to Mada Station.

Additionally, read: 33 people are feared killed when suspected herdsmen attack Benue communities.

Players joining rebel league R360 would risk England futures

Players from England who participate in the potential new breakaway league for rugby union run the risk of losing out.

A revolutionary franchise league that aims to attract the game’s biggest stars is in development.

R360, or R360, is expected to launch in the following year, with sponsors from all other sports reported to be interested in participating.

The new league will not clash with international rugby, according to organizers, who also claim players will be able to play for their nations in international competitions like the Six Nations.

However, any Premiership player who leaves to compete in R360 runs the risk of stifling their international career.

There is no intention to change the terms of the PGP’s eight-year deal, which was announced in September 2024 to much fanfare, according to sources who spoke to the BBC. One leading administrator claimed that there is “zero chance” R360 will launch or attract the players needed.

However, plans for the rebel league are developing in an effort to alter the world order of rugby union.

The franchise competition would be held in some of the biggest cities in the world, with names like London, Paris, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, and Cape Town included in the bid to attract the top 300 men’s and women’s players in the world.

With the inclusion of American superstar Ilona Maher on the promotional material, R360 has pledged to “unlock the potential of the women’s game.”

However, some senior industry figures believe the proposals lack substance and will struggle to obtain the necessary investment or approval from the governing bodies.

According to a source who spoke to the BBC, “It’s the world 12s again,” the game’s shorter format never materialized.

R360 intends to hold events in two blocks, April through June, and August through September, with overlap for both the southern hemisphere Rugby Championship and the women’s Six Nations, which would not conflict with the men’s Six Nations or the women’s Six Nations.

Mike Tindall, a former Bath captain and rugby director, and Stuart Hooper, a former World Cup winner, lead R360.

In the prospectus, Tindall claims that R360 is being introduced as a response to a “club game” that “failed to capture the same level of interest and investment as international rugby.”

The international game is putting pressure on clubs all over the world, Tindall continued.

Brooklyn Beckham savagely writes dad David out of history with cutting comment

After Brooklyn Beckham appeared to erase father David Beckham from history in a recent interview, hopes of an olive branch offering in the tense Beckham family feud have once more been dashed.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz made their loyalty crystal clear in their most revealing interview since the alleged Beckham war broke out.

After a string of rows, the oldest Beckham child has reportedly distanced himself from his well-known family, and a shocking new comment suggests that he is now trying to remove his footballer father from his personal history.

Chef Brooklyn’s initial appearance to be giving dad David Beckham’s new hot sauce range, Cloud23, was reportedly a “warm nod” to their father-son relationship.

A member of Brooklyn’s team responded to a recent customer question on the official website by saying that the 23-piece design is a warm nod to his father, David Beckham, who wore the number 23 while playing for Real Madrid and the LA Galaxy in an effort to emulate NBA legend Michael Jordan.

Fans’ hopes for a peace offering will soon be shattered, however, Brooklyn himself gave a very different account when explaining the inspiration behind the branding.

Brooklyn asserted in an April interview with Glamour Germany that “The 23 represents our engagement date and my age back then.”

David, a legendary sportsman, is not mentioned anywhere on the official Cloud23 website.

Brooklyn, 26, showed off his tattoos in another interview, and he has many, just like his father. These elaborate body art tributes honor his parents and younger siblings in particular.

BROOKLYN IN THE GLAMOUR
Brooklyn’s tattoos are sweet tributes to his immediate family, but none of them are mentioned.

This includes the words “mamma’s boy” emblazoned across his chest while David’s birth year is 1975 inked on his thumb. His skin also bears the initials DVBRCH, which stands for David, Victoria, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, and Harper.

The conversation turned instead on the hot sauce owner’s dedications to wife Nicola and members of her family, not on these intimate body art. Some, like Nicola’s eyes on my neck or our wedding vows, are significant to me, Brooklyn told the publication.

Nicola, 30, continued, “I adore it when Brooklyn receives tattoos with a unique story in them. He also has the rosary of my mother tattooed on his hand.

Sally Baker, a recognized, award-winning senior therapist, responded to the ongoing rift rumors with her fascinating insight.

She explained to the Mirror how some couples “prove their allegiance to each other” by growing even closer in the face of family tensions.

Sally addressed the young couple’s perceived identity crisis by revealing that they are “forging their identity apart from their family of origin.” They are unable to accept the possibility that they may have acted badly or be in trouble. To take into account that as a couple, implies that.

As they carve their own path, offspring can appear obstinate and casually cruel as they go along with that, but that comes with experience and time. Thankfully, family bonds remain strong and lasting. Families are forgiving and patiently waiting for their adult child to rejoin the fold, with or without their partner. “
